Treasury: Equality
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many civil servants employed by their Department work in roles primarily focused on (a) transgender policy, (b) diversity, (c) equity and (d) inclusion; and at what annual salary cost.
Answered by Lucy Rigby
There are currently fewer than 5 members of HM Treasury staff who work in roles primarily focused on (a) transgender policy, (b) diversity, (c) equity and (d) inclusion. We do not hold this information for previous years.
Where the number of individuals is fewer than five, as is the case here, to provide an exact figure and the additional details requested would constitute the disclosure of personal data.
The first data protection principle requires the disclosure of third-party personal data to be lawful, fair and transparent. Releasing the information would breach the first data protection principle, since it would be unlawful and unfair to release the information.
